Re: question about sniffing wireless IPOD conversations

after reading the wireless capture setup, I think the problem is that I'm running Wireshark on Windows XP and this apparently doesn't work well when sniffing other machine's traffic in a wireless network environment.

Has anyone found a way to do this?

Hi,

Check the Wiki for your capture setup: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN

Thanks,

I have a wireless laptop with Wireshark on it and an IPod on the same
network. Both my laptop and the IPod use the same NetGear wireless
device for the default gateway. When I start sniffing on my wireless
adapter, the only packets I see coming/going from/to the IPod are
multicasts from the IPod, I don't see any traffic to/from the Netgear
device or to/from the Internet.

Why is it that I am unable to see all the traffic to/from the IPod device?

thanks
